It is just for convenience -- this allows you to write shorter programs for
inline, but it does not prevent you from being explicit and using the Rcpp::
prefix.  I tend to most of the time too because I prefer that style.

I would. I think the plugin="RcppArmadillo" setting also sets it for you, so
this really is analogous: you can be explicit, or you can drop it.

Explicit works for me, but everybody as his or her preferences and we try not
to impose any styles.  We do not shy away from recommendations though :)
